Leftists Outraged over Aubrey Plaza Commercial Mocking Plant-Based Milk: ‘So Disappointed'
2023-05-12
[Breitbart] Leftists are outraged over a new commercial featuring actress Aubrey Plaza mocking plant-based milk. “What’s next Aubrey? Will you be promoting foie gras, veal, human slavery, or perhaps heroin?” one social media user asked.

In the satirical commercial, Plaza states that she is “the co-founder of Wood Milk, the world’s first and only milk made from wood.”
Video of the thing can be seen at the liink.
“Now it’s time to enjoy the fruits of our efforts. Not fruits, wood,” the Parks and Recreation star says before taking a drink of a substance, and then asking the camera, “Got wood?”
In the Morning, maybe
“Is wood milk real? Absolutely not. Only real milk is real,” Plaza concludes, before asking, “Then what did I invest in?”

Leftists on social media quickly attacked Wood Milk and Plaza, who both disabled the comment sections for their YouTube and Instagram post.

But the left took to other Instagram posts by Plaza to attack her for supporting real milk.

“What’s next Aubrey? Will you be promoting foie gras, veal, human slavery, or perhaps heroin next? Who need ethics, Aubrey is for sale apparently,” another stated.

More boringly predictable leftwing comments snipped.
The left-wing news site, Vox, also reacted to the Wood Milk commercial with a lengthy piece complaining about Plaza “mocking plant-based milks.”

Vox took issue with Plaza stating “only real milk is real,” and argued that “the idea that one type of milk is real and the other isn’t is absurd,” before complaining about the “many ethical problems in dairy production,” such as its inhumane treatment of cows and its impact on the environment.

The piece, however, eventually admits that the dairy production system in place is actually “necessary” in order to feed milk to 330 million Americans at a low cost.

“It’s necessary — if you’re trying to produce enough milk to feed 330 million Americans at a low cost, you have to do it on a large scale with the aid of technology to make it more efficient and safe,” the site acknowledges.

#15  Being so particular in their foods, they should be considered "Prime" when the cannibalism starts? Just asking?

#14  I'll presume these assholes can be lumped in with the anti-meat crowd; kind of like betting the money line on the first game of the NFL season, Lions at Chiefs.

It is simply amazing their complete disregard for basic human nutrition, and the anger and rage it generates from them ought to be channeled into the electric grid, 'cause that's far more reliable than wind or solar.

#12  The lefties should be happy with milk. Milk cows are not treated as beef. Then again lefties think everything should have no purpose.

#8  I think the point being made is there has to be a mammal in the process somewhere.

#7  Cows eat plants and convert them into milk, therefore cow milk is plant based.

#5  While we're at it, milk doesn't come from almonds or cashews either.

#4  Will you be promoting foie gras, veal, human slavery, or perhaps heroin?

That would be Seattle.

And here I observed that Commies have a big investment in human slavery.

#1  Milk comes from mammals. Plants are not mammals. It's Science, bitches!

It is both funny and disturbing that people (of a certain sort) are outraged over this well-done little bit of humor.
